Hi Will, Thank so much for your message. We are thrilled to know that you finally started your personal meditation journey and that it has made such a profound difference in your life. It warms us knowing that Headspace has been a part of that journey and we thank you for being a part of our community. While our philanthropic mission has shifted over the past few months, we are still donating to those in need. In fact, in 2018 we are focusing our efforts and giving a free Headspace subscription to working educators across the US and the UK. There will be much more information to come, so please stay tuned. If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to [email protected]. Mindfully yours, Headspace

Hi Michael, Thanks very much for your note and we are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your Headspace experience so far. It's okay if you're not "there" yet - learning to meditate is like learning any other skill, like driving a car - you don't expect to hit the motorway after your first few lessons. Be patient with yourself, and take it slowly and without expecting too much, too quickly. Also try to avoid judging your meditation. Never look for perfection in your meditation practice, simply keep going from one technique to the next as part of the journey and over time you will see the change. Most of all though, be kind to yourself and remember that we are talking about the body and mind letting go of habits of a lifetime. We are always here to provide guidance along the way, so please reach out to [email protected], as needed. Warmest regards, Headspace

Hi AWDSGN, Thanks you kindly for your feedback! The overall mission of Headspace is to improve the health and happiness of the world. Unfortunately, if we don't have a healthy business there is no way we can fulfill this mission. Headspace, like many businesses, has a significant amount of running costs in order for us to produce the web services, apps and many other products that we offer. We employ people in the US and the UK and they include animators, illustrators, project managers, finance controllers, customer experience representatives, a full internal engineering team as well as marketing and community managers to make sure the message gets to the right people. This doesn't include all the 3rd party suppliers that help us create all the content. We employ over 180 people and we have produced over 1000s hours of audio and video content for the Headspace Journey. Not to mention all the scientists that we work with to help us prove the validity of our products. All of these people have families, mortgages, rent and food to buy in order to live a healthy and happy life. We feel very proud that we can play a part in helping them live the life that allows them to be healthy and happy. We feel very comfortable with the fact that we charge for our product so we can continue to run a sustainable operation and we feel even more confident of our products' value. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]. Best wishes and mindfully yours, Headspace

Hi Brenda, Thank you kindly for your note. Our latest update speaks to our evolution and learnings from the past seven years. The new Headspace is a more personalized experience and we are so happy to hear that you are enjoying it. It's true, some sessions will feel similar as they share techniques but remember, repetition is a great way to strengthen your practice. We also offer unguided meditations (more silence), available by going to the Unguided Classic session in the Singles library under the "Discover" section. We offer the Unguided Classic session in 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 or 60-minute options. Additionally, we have the Headspace Pro packs which are much less guided and have more silence than the other packs. These sessions are designed to deepen your meditation practice and give you a chance to practice on your own. Please reach out if you need any guidance along your meditation journey - [email protected]. Mindfully yours, Headspace
